Overview
Teaching the standard is its own skill. This designation authorizes it.
CCI is ISACA’s designation for teaching official CMMC curriculum, delivering CCP and CCA training for an approved provider. You need an active CCA or LCCA and an Approved Training Provider’s sponsorship; ISACA prefers five years in security and teaching. It is a designation, not an exam, and for now ISACA sends questions and certification requests to Cyber AB.

and keep the room learning.
We design this course ourselves. ISACA grants the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of ISACA.
An instructor of official material carries the program’s credibility. You learn how the curriculum is structured, where adaptation is allowed and where it is not, and how to keep your own opinions apart from approved content.
- Structure of the official curriculum
- Fidelity to approved materials
- Where adaptation and examples are allowed
- Instructor, consultant and assessor roles kept apart
- Keeping content current as rules change
- Declaring conflicts of interest
You build A fidelity checklist for preparing any teaching session, with the limits of your role stated.
Learners arrive with different experience and little patience for slides. You apply what is known about adult learning, set clear objectives and structure content so each section builds on the one before.
- Adult learning principles
- Prior knowledge and mixed experience
- Writing learning objectives
- Cognitive load and pacing
- Sequencing content from simple to complex
- Planning a session around an objective
You build A lesson plan with objectives, sequence and timings for one hour on a CMMC topic.
The model is dense and its terms are easily confused. You build clear explanations of information types, levels, domains and practices, and learn to use analogies and visuals without distorting the rules.
- Explaining FCI and CUI to newcomers
- Explaining levels, domains and practices
- Analogies that help and analogies that mislead
- Visuals for a regulatory model
- Common misunderstandings and how to correct them
- Checking understanding as you go
You build Three short explanations of core concepts, each with a visual and a check question.
Scoping and assessment are skills, and skills are learned by doing. You design case studies, data flow exercises and mock interviews that let learners practice judgment with safe, realistic material.
- Designing a scoping case study
- Data flow and boundary exercises
- Mock interviews and role play
- Mock evidence review exercises
- Debriefing an exercise
- Building realistic but safe scenario material
You build A scoping exercise with a fictional company, learner materials, an answer key and debrief notes.
Delivery decides whether content lands. You run discussion, manage mixed experience and difficult participants, keep time and use online tools so remote learners are as involved as those in the room.
- Facilitation techniques and questioning
- Managing a mixed group
- Handling dominant and silent participants
- Keeping to time without rushing
- Online delivery tools and engagement
- Accessibility for all learners
You build A facilitation guide for one session, with questions, timings and plans for common problems.
Learners ask questions the curriculum does not settle. You separate rules from interpretation, say when you do not know, route open questions to the proper authority and record questions that reveal gaps in the materials.
- Rules, guidance and interpretation distinguished
- Saying you do not know
- Routing questions to the proper authority
- Not giving assessment decisions or legal advice
- Recording questions that reveal gaps
- Handling disagreement with learners
You build A question log and response guide covering ten difficult learner questions.
Teaching without checking is guessing. You use short questions, scenarios and feedback during a session, write fair questions, and use results to improve both learners’ understanding and your own course.
- Checks for understanding during a session
- Writing fair scenario-based questions
- Giving useful feedback
- Protecting the integrity of assessments
- Collecting and using learner feedback
- Improving a course over time
You build A set of twenty questions with answer rationales and a feedback form for a session.
Instructors handle sensitive examples and learners’ information. You apply professional conduct to your teaching, protect learners’ data, avoid using real client material and model the behavior the program expects.
- Professional conduct for instructors
- Protecting learner information
- Why real client material must never be used
- Impartiality towards providers and tools
- Misuse of credentials and claims
- Reporting concerns about conduct
You build A conduct statement and session ground rules that you would give to every class.
One teaching session draws every skill together. You plan a lesson on a chosen topic, build exercises and checks, teach a segment, gather feedback and revise the plan.
- Choosing a topic and writing objectives
- Building the content, exercise and checks
- Teaching a segment
- Collecting and reading feedback
- Revising the session
You build A complete session package: plan, materials, exercise, questions and revision notes.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
